Graphing functions:
1) Graph the following functions. Add an image to each one:
a. g ( x )=( x +2 )
3
b. f ( x )= √ x +4
c. h ( x )=16−x 2
d. h ( x )=4 x 2−x 4
e. Choose one of the previous functions and come up with a real-life example that can
be describe using the selected function. Describe it in detail.
2) Graph the following piecewise functions. Add an image to each one:
a. f ( x )= {
2
1−x , si∧x ≤ 2
x , si∧x >2

2
−x +6 , si x >2
c. Propose a real-world example that can be describe using the piecewise function
from item b.
d. Find the piecewise function of the following graphs:
3) When a weather balloon is inflated, the thickness T of the rubber layer is related to the
balloon by the equation
0.5

r
10 and 100.

be describe using the selected function. Describe it in detail.
e. The following graph shows the weight of a person W at a certain age x . Determine
the intervals in which the function W is increasing and the ones in which it is
decreasing. What do you think happen to that person when he was 30 years old?
Local maximums and minimums
6) For the following functions, find all the local maximums and local minumums for each,
and the approximate x value in which these occur. Add an image to each one.
a. V ( x )=
